which portion of the joint capsule does the iliofemoral ligament reinforce?

list the fxns/motions that are limited by the iliofemoral ligament? (anterior, superior, inferior)

what is the main fxn of the iliofemoral ligament?

which portion of the joint capsule does the iliofemoral ligament reinforce? anterior

limited fxns/motions

anteriorly: extention/hyperextension

superior fibers: adduction

inferior fibers: abduction
what is the main fxn of the iliofemoral ligament? allows standing with minimal muscular effort

list the 2 fxns/motins restricted by the pubofemoral ligament:

abduction

hyperextension

... of the hip

list the origin and the attachment site of the ischiofemoral ligament:

list the fxn/motions restricted by the ischiofemoral ligament:

origin: posterior acetabular rim

attachment: inner surface of the greater trochanter

fxn/motions limited: extension and extreme flexion

what is the fxn of the ligamentum teres (ligament of the head of the femur):

what is the potential tramua that could occur with an injury to the ligamentum teres:

fxn: serves as a conduit for the artery

mechanism: axial compression of the femoral head or disolocation of the joint

trauma: disruption of the medial and lateral circumflex arteries

list the 3 muscles of the iliopsoas group:

psoas major

psoas minor

iliacus

what is the result of tightness in the rectus femoris, sartorisu, and iliacus muscles:

increased stress on sacroiliac joint

casuses the pelvis to rotate anteriorly on the sacrum

weakness of the right gluteus medius causes the pelvis to lower on the left side when the left leg is not bearing weight, the torso compenstates for the unequal position of the pelvis by leaning to the right known as:

trendelenburgs gait pattern

what is the primary fxn of the piriformis, quadratus femoris, obturator internus, obturator externus, gemellus superior, and gemellus inferior during an open chain:

what is the primary fxn of the during the loading response and midstance (closed chain):

open chain: externally rotate the hip

loading response/midstance: control hip internal rotation

list the structures that make the femoral triangle:

list the 3 structures that pass thru the femoral triangle:

inguinal ligament superiorly

sartorius laterally

adductor longus medially

structures passing thru

femoral nerve

femoral artery

femoral vein

contains lymph nodes that may become enlarged with an infection or active inflammation in the lower extermity

list and describe the 4 bursae at the hip:

trochanteric bursa: lubricates site at which glute max passes over the greater trochanter

gluteofemoral: separates glute max from the origin of the vastus lateralis

describe the following charcteristics of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis..

pain (stable/unstable):
joint/muscle fxn assesement:
fxn assement:

pain

stable: pain in the groin or hip that increases with walking. pain may be referred to the anterior distal quadriceps (femoral nerve) adductor area (obturator nerve) or buttocks/hamstrings (sciatic nerve)
